Comments about the web site: Comments about the web site: A year's
past; we've had some good times and we had some bad, but through it all,
we've had each other and the support shown for those we love has made us
stronger. I join my friend, Bill Frankenberger, and tell all to
"LiveStrong!" as my CCS Classleader, David Wilson has defied the odds and
continues to live life as if he's dying, while Dave McCracken continues his
battle. SgtMacsBar Caribbean Cruise was fantastic and if you weren't
able to join us, you can check out the excitement at
CCT
Photo Gallery 45 My favorite times this year were shared with
you and I hope you were able to make it to the reunion. Please put
Veterans Day weekend on your calendar for the 2006 reunion.

As we all get older, we realize life is limited and what you put off for
another day may be too late. We lost a lot of good people last year
and this year won't be any different. SgtMacsBar mission is "To Bring
Us All A Little Bit Closer" and I need your assistance to complete the mission.
Without you, SgtMacsBar would cease to exist.

Dick Sigman's death is a great loss to CCT and SgtMacsBar is built around
his dreams. Dick had the foresight to start the Combat Control Association
which is the backbone of our Brotherhood. The CCA continues to bring
us together yearly and I ask all of you to give Larry Lower and the CCA all
of your support. Dick's dreams live on and SgtMacsBar supports those
dreams through your memories......... Send pictures!

Comments about the web site: I stumbled across this web site a few
weeks ago. The pictures brought back a lot of memories. Those were the 'best
days of my life' at the 1723rd SOCCT & the 23rd STS. Junior Anderson
& (Dr.)Bo Bowling are the only people I have kept in touch with, thanks
to their phone calls. Today I am living in south western New Mexico in a
small town called Deming. Thanks for such a great web site.

Comments about the web site: Mac, Thank You for another year of
SgtMacsBar. Every year more and more of the people I care most about are
slipping away; but, because of you I can keep in contact with those that
are still around. Thank you and Happy New Year. Johnny

Comments about the web site: I am LaMar Eikman's brother. I have suffered
from depression since I was a teen, and I know a great deal about this illness.
I suffered to a much larger degree from the illness than LaMar, and I warned
him repeatedly that Air Force doctors are incompetent.

Comments about the web site: Hey Mac, just wanted to check in for
the new year. Last year actually turned out to be a pretty good year, guess
my life sort of stabled out. (may even be getting married soon myself....jeez,
did I just say that?) Anyway, think I got on here for the first time last
March and since then have talked to a lot of old teammates...Bill Frankenberger,
Roy Jordan, John Koren, Ed Pound, Archie Hickerson, Pat O'neill and more.
Still looking for Gene Brown, ex Special Forces, came over to USAF/CCT in
1976, I think, then went to either Charleston or Pope. Anybody know where
he's at? Good site, keep up the good work....Rick

Comments about the web site: Mac, Thanks for the good work..keep it
up. I know all of the CCA guys and you are doing their best to get all the
news out. Sorry I haven’t been to the web site much, I am not much for
the web except at work (I think I get more than I really need at work...hahaha)
No excuse, great stuff on the web site and awesome opportunity to contact
other controllers. thx again v/r rs...

Comments about the web site: Enjoyed your meanderings. It's always
good to hear about men that I haven't heard from in many years. I was sorry
to hear about Bill Swope and John Fuller. We served together in CCT at several
places during the 1950's and 1960's.

Comments about the web site: Compadre's! I am alive and well! Kay
and I just moved back to the Florida panhandle area three weeks ago; living
in Niceville, FL. For the past nine years we lived in the Rochester, NY,
finger lake region. A great place to live but dam cold during those eight
long winter months! I believe during the winter I was the lone Mexican in
Western New York! As for the family, Kay and I have been married for 39-years!
Hoo-yah! Our oldest son, Lance, who was a CCTer with the 24th STS, retired
from the AF! I know many of you that have know Lance since he was a young
boy must feel as old as I do! :) Our other boys Mike, Toby and David live
in the Ft. Walton Beach area too, along with our seven grandchildren. Our
youngest son, Rocky or as Craig Brotchie calls him--'The Rock', lives in
NY. We are looking forward to see many friends who live along the Emerald
Coast. FYI: I no longer work for Harris RF Comm. I now work for 'McDowell
Research', a small company out of Waco, TX, selling power supplies for Manpack
radios, power amplifiers and configuring a number of DOD customer unique
communication transit cases, base stations and comm pallets. My customer
base will be SOF and 3/4 of the AF. While employed with Harris, I once again
worked for my old CCT supervisor and good friend, Nick Genes (CMSgt Ret)!
A great mentor and one hell of a sales man! We had the best dam sales force
at Harris RF Comm! Hoo-yah! He and I left Harris within two weeks of each
other. We just needed a change. Nick and Wanda needed to get back to the
Black Hills of SD. I needed a warmer location! Kay and I hope to run into
many of you downrange. Stay healthy! Hoo-yah! TONY and Kay

Comments about the web site: I really enjoyed your webpage. I am going
to take my past test for CCT in February and i was just looking to see how
much fun i was going to have. If you will, email me and i want to talk to
you about some of this stuff. thanks zach

Comments about the web site: Awesome site. I went through CCS class
82-3, then over to Clark AB. I was there only from 8/82- 9/83, then I managed
to get myself discharged( not willingly). I don't know if any of the guys
I was with even remember me, but I've never forgotten any of you. The best
group of men it has ever been my priviledge to know. I just want to say hi
and thanks Mac for a great site.

Comments about the web site: OK I'll sign the book.......Mac, I continue
to serve here at McChord celebrating my 22nd year at the squadron. I now
enjoy my life as the ATC Instructor Guru for the unit. Not sure were all
the active duty time went though. Mac, thanks for all the enjoyment and
information you provide through your site. Please continue the great work!
Thanx!!!

Comments about the web site: After 3 years as the only "CCT guy" at
the 6th SOS, stomping around the jungles of Sri Lanka, Phillipines, Colombia
and a few other places (okay, it was pretty damn fun) I am happy to be back
with my teammates at the 22d STS. Great website Mac, keep it up! BT

Comments about the web site: Don is so glad to keep up with everyone.
This past year he had to go on dialysis for kidney failure due to his diabetis.
This year in a few months in fact he will be getting a kidney from our son.
The wheels are rolling for the process, and after a few more test we think
everything will be a go. Our son is a match. Do keep him in your pray- ers.

Comments about the web site: Great website! I really enjoyed looking
at all the photos, damn everyone is looking old, keep up the good work. We
have quite a few guys down here in Tampa, so if you need anything from us
just drop us a line. Thanks!

Comments about the web site: i was with lou brabham in dalat rvn,
67-68 and i was in aerial delivery at travis afb (66-67, 68-69), with lou
and a few others.(jenkins, art john, hooper, burr, can't remember all of

published, i remember one of which lou was singing), but if i can find them
i will post them here.

Comments about the web site: well, i got around to looking at most
all the pictures on this site, really brings back some good memories, some
sad, i saw where lew brabham had passed, i was really wanting to talk with
him, we spent a lot of time together in rvn. we were involved in a few short
fire fights and had more than a few drinks together. sure going to miss him.
i found a couple of the pictures i have, where can i send them so you can
copy them? i will find more of them to send later. i have a few hundred slides
of the drop zones and the section at travis afb. i sent an e-mail to allen
hooper,i hope it was the right e-mail address, i guess he is still married
to rose. i am still married to lana (k) 38 yrs, she was a waf at travis also.
if this is to long just delete it. it's a really nice site to visit. thanks
again for the memories............

Comments about the web site: My brother was TSgt John Chapman and
my husband, Kenny, is former First Sgt of the 24th. We met after John's death
and feel God and John had something to do with us meeting. We miss John terribly
and are damn proud of him (always have been). We wish all CCTers and their
families the very best and keep them in our prayers. I love your site! God
bless America!

Comments about the web site: Think you are doing a great job getting
the news out about the Combat Controllers. I'm the widow of Charles N. Abee
who passed away March 16, 2005. I really did appreciate all the e-mails I
received when Charles went to be with the Lord. The Combat Control group
just became our family. We've been around the world with a lot of them. Spent
about 50 years with most of them that were in the 2nd Aerial Port Sqdn.

Comments about the web site: Love the site. Had a smile seeing some
names from the past and I had many memories going thru my mind. Keep up the
great work and thank you for doing this. I travel quite a bit and look forward
to getting my picture taken at the bar. Sulak

Comments about the web site: Great job on the disc for Jen. We were
drinkin' Bud's down at Alex's "Evil's Inn" back in '98. "Hoo Ya" Learned
that at Little Creek Amphib Base back in '71 from Instructor Swartz. thanks
again

Comments about the web site: Mac, It's been a long (Long, Long, Long)time
since I signz the book. Still kickin', you already know that Sheila and I
are planning on visiting either on our way or on the way back from Corpus
Christi in April (leaving WI April 1). A lot depends on the Wx. I must be
getting old, I actually haven't ridden much this year (I believe if you live
in WI and ride a MC, you have to ride in the snow and winter), it's been
mild but the Beemer is just patiently waiting for me to get off my ass. Sheila
had back surgery before we got married in Nov. and she gets pissed if I take
the scoot out without her. You know, but any of the guys who might be interested
don't, I BECAME "GRAMPS" ON 2/15/'06. Let's see now,....... I'm now Roger
(RD) D. ("OldDog") "Gramps" Dumbshit, AssHole James. Yeah that pretty much
covers it. Seriously, I am humbled by what I hear about the guys nowadays,
and I am grateful to you beyond measure, for all you do in keeping us together.
"Love Ya, Man!!!"

Comments about the web site: I have visited often and decided to sign
in. It's great to see the pix and videos of all our CCT family. I have so
many pix and will get them scanned and sent to SgtMac'sBar. I've enjoyed
seeing and reading about so many of my friends. Keep up this great site.
I'm proud to be part of this CCT family for over 20+ years. Betty sends

Comments about the web site: Nice site! Been making commo w/LTC(Ret)
Don Horton and swapping photos. He checked into our site (www,deta114.org)looking
for photos of Bong Son - was XO of A114 1st SF '65-'66 when he ran CCT in
II Corps. Chief John

Comments about the web site: I am a friend of SSgt Scott Sather. Had
some good memories with the guy, and am glad I found this site. I have put
together a speech dedicated to Scott for the Non-Commissioned Officer's Academy
I am now attending. I have not found a contact email address, but if you
could provide one I have a class picture I would like to submit from '97
back when Scott and I were in Airman Leadership School. Scott was our class
leader, and was the recipient of the John Levitow award.

Comments about the web site: Well Mike... I figured that I held out
on you long enough... so I FINALLY signed on! I was sad to hear about Mr.
Dick Sigman, he was a pioneer and an outstanding man. I wish I could have
met him more than once. I'm looking forward to seeing you and Jill again,
whenever that may be, and having a beer or five. : ) I'll be in touch...
Greg Walsh

Comments about the web site: Back to visit once again. CCT 304 type
67-75, still in Alaska and see Tom Laney occasionally, spent Christmas with
Walter Smith a few years ago. Lots of memories of some really great men.
Thanks for keeping us all in touch. Bob

Comments about the web site: We lost my brother, Richard L. Karmann,
this last christmas morning and I came across your memorial to him, on the
internet. Thank you for remembering him. We were very proud of him in all
that he did in the service and in his life. His son is serving also overseas
now in the Air Force, carrying on in his fathers footsteps. Thank you. Ruby
Karmann

Spam Terrorist chased me out of my last GuestBook, however I won the
war. I invited them all in and while they were celebrating, I
obliterated the old GuestBook and destroyed the terrorist. New security
measures have been implemented and terrorist are identified and
destroyed immediately…..

I'm USAF, but not CCT (couldn't volunteer for Indoc without depth
perception), but I thought I'd drop note to let you know that I enjoyed
looking through your site.

Combat Controllers and all in the Special Tactics community have done
an outstanding amount to further the warfighting capabilities of the
USAF over the years, and it was wonderful to see so much of that
history on your pages, in addition to the current contributions of
these warriors.
Thank you; we'll all be thinking of those fallen on Memorial Day.

I was close friends with CCT in Nam at 8th APS, in particular TSgt Tom
K., MSgt Floyd Loveland, and others. Ran with, drank with them. 1969
& 1971-1972. Went to ATC school afterwards then applied for CCT.
After ATC went TDY to Benning for Jump School but then was medically
taken off flight status and back to old career track. Helped send guys
& equipment for Oct 73 Israeli war. . Applied for early out in
Palace Chase months later. I still miss it. Am writing fiction works on
CCT and am nonfiction published author, former cop, lawyer of 24 yrs,
and teach at univ & colleges nearby in San Diego area. Would like
to hear from the 8th APS CCT guys.

I hope to write a CCT history book and am looking for 8th APS CCT
guys to support and back me on that project. Also am teaching a
"war-time and combat memoir writing class" at Cal State Univ. Will be
offering it free on-line very soon. The Harlequin CCT books crack me up
- great work by them. Heard Floyd died in '92.

Did CCT from 00-05 and now I'm out and about in the real world.
Pursuing my dreams as a cartoonist/comic book artist and that's my life
at the moment. Well, as long as I'm not glued to the seat of my Harley
or chasing women. Ha!

Hi Mac, just checking in. Still trying to get some free time to make
your Fun Raiser next month. Also, still trying to find Gene Brown, ex
Special Forces, came over to SAF/CCT in 1976. After CCS, went to either
Pope or Charleston. Anybody know where he's at?? Want to say Hi to all
the guys I was with at Norton in the late 70's.

I attended CMSgt Paul "Vinnie" Venturella's (VA) retirement ceremony
last Friday where they awarded him the Legion of Merit! Very nicely
done VA. It was cool to see so many faces I haven't seen in years.
Also had a ceremony at the CCS in honor of Adam Servais (sp) and of course memorial pushups in his honor as well.
Thanks for your work Mac……………Sully

I have been a MH-53 Pavelow weapons team leader since 2001. I have been
on multiple deployments with many a Controller. I was just surfing the
web and came across your page. Its one hell of a page! Thanks for all
you have done and thanks for the Servais page as well. He was a friend
of mine. I met him through Jeff Clemens.

thanks for the help from allen hooper and bill burr, we found some more
A.D. guys. we had our travis afb aerial deliver team reunion in july.
it was a good turn out for such a small group of guys. we are
still looking for guys that were in A.D. at travis from 1965 to 1969.
thanks again. we always enjoyed working with cct at travis and in
vietnam. thanks mac for the site.

I'm finally here!!! Woo Hoo! I missed Mac's Open House b/c of
surgery... I know it's not a great excuse, but Mac... I'll make it up
to you. My hat is off to all of the Sgt Mac's Bar members who support
him and what he does for us. Mike and Jill, you guys kick ass and I
hope to see you when you come down to
FL………….Greg W.

Mac, I was at the CCS graduation and I'll sign your guest book. I would
of signed it there but I couldn't get you to put the shots down long
enough to show me where it was at brother! Me and Eddie Howard are
receiving those scurvy dogs to AST on 10OCT, I'll pass on the link to
the guestbook. I'm sure they just forgot it trying to drink down that
$1,000 tab. By the way, the secret code that night at the bar to get in
on the CCT tab was "Some Shit". It was nice to get to meet your "better
half" at the graduation. Thanks for all you do brother and keep on link
us new guys up with the legends! EOM SK

Hi to all CCT; We are SrAm Adam Servais parents who was KIA on 8-19-06
in Afghanistan. Just want to say how grateful we are for
everyone's support. Adam truly loved being a Controller. We will be
heading to the CCA reunion in FL in November and the memorial for Adam.

We were on a mission of our own while all of you were having your fun.
We had fun too, another family type reunion in Switzerland. Glad to
hear those who did participate had a great time, look for us to attend
sometime in the future..thanks Mac & Jill for all that you do..Ski
& Silvia

Sorry that it's taken me so long to get back to you. Annie and I had
such a wonderful time in August visiting you. Took 16 hours to drive
from Buffalo NY to Columbia, MO and it was well worth the trip. Just
want to say that you and Jill are wonderful hosts. Thanks for having
us. We are planning to leave shortly for the Philippines so if you have
any requests, please get them to us. We will be touring the entire
country for about 10 weeks. Oh and building a house there too.

We loved meeting/hanging with both of you at the Sept 2006 CCT
graduation, and we look forward to seeing you again! The site is
awesome from the old to the new pictures. Thanks for sharing this with
all of us.

Hey Mac, Consider me back in the fold. I have been in Texas and
Louisiana working with Wackenhut during the Katrina, Rita efforts. Just
got done reading your update on fallen brothers. I am so sorry to see
that the list has grown so much since I last checked. Richard Karman
and I served together at Forbes. My heart goes out to his family and
all the other family's of those we have lost. I talked to K. B. Duncan
a few months ago after 36 years. We found each other in part because of
your website. I still talk with Greg Harmon and Art Lawrence from time
to time and visited with Art and Ruby and their family last year. Keep
up the great work Mac, we need you! .. Airborne, Jim Justice Jr.

Hey thanks for coming to the graduation and getting to know us. The
other team is a day late and a dollar shorts, but Lt. Walsh said he was
going to shoot us in the face with a 45 if we didn't sign your guest
book. CHEEERS!!!!!

Hey! Bible Update=He's doing ok....still handsome. Has staph infection
in foot but luckily is a treatable strain. The rest of his parts are
healing well. Docs to decide tomorrow whether he needs another surgery
on his ankle or gets to come home for a while so I can spoil him so
more. He's in pretty good spirits though...Hey Mac...yes, he's still
drooling. Love ya and hope to see you guys soon. Thanks to all who have
called and wished him well. He enjoys the calls. Current # at hospital
is 573-771-9478. Cell is 573-230-3457 but he hasn't figured out how to
set up his voice mail so good luck with that! Talk to you all soon.

Mac and Jill, First, let me say THANKS for letting Annie and I visit
with you. I fulfilled one of my life goals. You 2 are now very dear to
us. Secondly, our kids have insisted we wait until the year's out
before we visit the PI. As for the reunion, hopefully next time. I'm
still not over the effects of this stroke. Everyday there is progress
but then ...well I'm working at it. In a very BIG way you helped me.
We'll keep in touch.

I just heard that an old friend of mine, Bob Kerr cross trained into
CCT from ECM. I knew Bob at RAF Bentwaters. We used to go the car races
a lot with Pete Harrison. If Bob reads this or anyone that knows him,
drop me a line at boss_martian@yahoo.com

Hi, I just wanted to say Hi to everyone. We miss all of you very much
and hope that everyone is having a great holiday season. We are doing
well, the kids are growing up fast. Hope to hear from you soon. Oh, Mac
thanks for the pendant. I love it. I will send the pictures of Chris
soon. I haven't forgotten, and I hope no one has forgotten him.
Just in case anyone wants to contact me and the kids. We would love to
hear from you.

Sgt Mac You sat next to me at the Graduation dinner and I took a
picture of your tat on your calf. Anyways sorry it took so long to say
thanks for everything you do and will continue to do for my new family
(CCT). Oh ya, Lt Greg Walsh was at our table too. Darn shame what
happened to that guy. Breaks his leg and has been gaining weight ever
since. He seems to be enjoying his new found 240+ lbs though. He was in
the pool the other day for the first time and I thought Carmen from
South Park was doing his beef cake impression. I know that he is
reading this right now and is smiling as are you because while you are
reading this a small alien has just finished making out with your hand
and you know as well as I do that you enjoyed it because you are still
smiling.

I just want to say thank you to all for your kindness, love and most
importantly, your prayers for Charlie and I during his illness. I now
ask that you remember me in your prayers. Charlie is now in Heaven
where he received his complete healing from cancer. God bless you
all!
Sugie Jones

I was the first sergeant for the 24 STS from May 1999 to December 2002.
It was arguably the best 3 1/2 years of my entire Air Force career. I
will never forget my experiences there and the things I learned from so
many guys that I believe are some of the most consummate professionals
that I've ever had the pleasure of working with/for. It was a privilege
being their first sergeant.

Thank you SilverWings for sharing this web site with me. I will share
it with my son and brother-in-law, who will share it with many others.
I'll need to get back on here, there is just so much to see. Hope to
see you again at the table. Anyone who reads this God
Bless you and your family. Have a nice holiday and a happy, safe, and healthy New Year.

Mike, I finally went through the whole damned photo gallery.
Outstanding! I have hundreds of photos at my house in Washington. One
of these days I'll send them in waves. Great memories and respect
looking back at friends, the young guns and the cats before my time. It
brought back great feelings looking at the photos of the trail blazers,
war vets and guys who made leaders of the guys who nurtured and
reinforced mind over matter, teamwork, pride, respect and never say die
brotherhood for and with the guys who earned the right to be called CCT
and throughout their stay in CCT proved it again and again. Cheers
Mike...HB

Mike, Photo gallery 1; In Huds photos he has a picture of the 1985 1
SOS CCT. The question mark sitting on the wing next to Willie Harris is
Doug Alan. The question mark on the bottom row to the right of Sam
Linebaugh is Joel Getzug. HB

Mac, as Chief J. Smith ( bitch face to many of us ) use to say,"
life’s a bitch then you die". What a crock of chief shit! Life is
what you make it and the freedom to be yourself is not a bitch. I'm a
supporter of SgtMacsBar and a believer in the good you do. Dale

Funniest shit I have read in a long, long time. We CCT have never taken
anything seriously and now is not the time to start. Look at me. I'm
heading for the PI just to eat dogs, cats and rats. Some shit aye. Life
is a bowl of shit if you really want it to be but man, it's a hell of a
lotta fun if you get off the road and travel where no man has traveled
before. Mac just keep traveling the path you are forging and leave the
road to those who have lost the will to travel through the boonies. I
refuse to let this stroke I had stop me from enjoying life.

As a C-130 pilot from CCK in 1972, TALO at Clark 80's to MACLO to the
Marines on Okinawa 1990, I've had a long association with the CCT and
enjoyed the relationship. Robbie roomed next to me at CCK. I've spent
many days on a DZ with Howard, Burch and Arcadi to name a few. Thanks
to John Buck for getting me my parachute wings.

Merry Christmas! I woke up this Christmas morning bright and early and
the first thought that entered my pea brain was of Christmas five years
ago. There I was...no really, It was a beautiful morning in Khandahar,
although it was only about 20 degrees. OK, I snagged the last of the
bacon, eggs and Krusteaz pancake mix from the Mud Hut stock pile and
made breakfast for the guys who were still in camp. It was a glorious
sunrise as I thought about my loved ones at home and the guys with me
who had wives, kids and other loved ones opening presents without them.
Cooking on two small burners sitting on top of Afghani propane tanks
was a challenge to say the least. The reason I am writing about this is
the fact it is one of my fondest Christmas memories. Watching the guys
enjoy a touch of home, Christmas breakfast (of course I enjoyed it too)
made me feel like I was with family and the spirit can be anywhere you
are no matter how far from home. As good as the breakfast was a couple
of the guys pointed out that if I would have included Bloody Mary's in
the menu it would have been perfect...typical CCT!
Cheers...HB
